“Perfectly reproduce the quality, style, colors, and grain of the most famous analog films. Bring out the best in your photographs by applying original effects both in color and in black & white.”

FilmPack 4 is the latest version of the photo effects plug-in by DxO Labs. It’s been designed to make creating traditional film effects easier than having to do them from scratch in Photoshop. As a plug-in, its focus is on a niche, which means we can achieve traditional film effects with little effort.

FilmPack 4 is available in two versions; Essential and Expert. With the latter you get a wider range of film types and presets, in addition to extra options for tweaking colour and lighting in the image.

Issue 106 of Photoshop Creative has a step-by-step tutorial which will show you how to start off your own film effect using the presets inside the plug-in. We then look into adapting them further using the sliders and adjustments featured in the Expert version. On sale 17th October from the Imagine Shop, as a digital download for your Apple or Android device, or from all good newsagents. Find out what else is in the issue, here.
